The sound of your voice in the room travels at 340 m/s

The sound of your voice in the room travels at 340 m/s how far away from you should a person sit to hear your voice at the exact moment the signal reaches the shuttle?

And the shuttle is located where?

If it's near the Sun, that's about 8 minutes away at light speed. So there would be an 8 minute delay between sending and receiving a signal for one-way transmissions. In which case a person S = VT = 340*8*60 = 163200 = 163.2 km away from you would hear your words at the same time the shuttle crew did.

Of course, due to attenuation of the sound loudness, there's no way someone 163.2 km from you will hear your dulcet voice.

If the shuttle is, say, 200 km = 200E3 m above your transmitter; then the one-way light speed travel time is T = 200E3/299E6 = 0.000668896 seconds. And the aural listener can be S = VT = 340*0.000668896 = 0.22742464 meters from your mouth for the signal and the sound to reach the recipients at the same time.
